Instagram is our newest social media channel so we’ve been experimenting with what works and what doesn’t during 2016. Our occasional videos have been popular on the platform, but we’ve stuck with our top still images for this top ten. They’re a combination of shots taken by members of our team (mainly Business Manager Josh Mulrine and Editor Charlotte Harper) and photographs of others republished with permission (such as the sunset shots from Irma Gold and Bradley Van Damm) along with one historic Canberra image. If you haven’t already done so, please head on over to our Instagram page, like us, and tag us to share your photos with us so we can Regram them to our audience and fulfil one of our New Year’s Resolutions: to be more proactive and interactive on Instagram in 2017.

That’s a touching photo of Stasia Dabrowski and Terry Snow. Nice work, Charlotte!

Irma Gold’s Canberra sunset is beautiful too.

Go you Josh M. Amazing resemblance to Seurat’s painting ‘Sunday afternoon….’. Did you have this in mind?
